Cosmetic preservatives are crucial in ensuring the safety and shelf life of personal care products. However, their role as hazardous micropollutants raises significant concerns about environmental and health impacts. This article investigates whether cosmetic preservatives qualify as hazardous micropollutants and examines the need for enhanced scrutiny and regulation. By evaluating current research, reviewing the environmental and health effects of common preservatives and discussing implications for policy and practice, this paper aims to shed light on the necessity for more rigorous investigation and regulation in the cosmetic industry.

As environmental pollutants, microplastics and pesticides pose significant risks to soil ecosystems and public health. This paper explores how these two types of contaminants interact within soil environments and the resulting ecotoxicological impacts. Microplastics, which are tiny plastic particles originating from various sources, have become widespread in soils around the world. Pesticides, used to control agricultural pests, also persist in soil environments. The interaction between microplastics and pesticides can influence each other's behavior and toxicity. This review aims to delve into these interactions and their ultimate consequences for soil health, microbial communities and broader ecological systems.
